    Poll: What do you think of furries?

    I only know one furry. He's a decent guy who goes to conventions around here and hands out balloons, gets pictures commissioned, etc. I think it's a kind of an odd quirk, but he doesn't bother me any.

    Favourite female fronted (and all female) bands

    In High School I was a fan of the ska band "Save Ferris," fronted by Monique Powell. Now she's in a smaller band called "The Mojo Wire" which is more blues inspired.

    308: Ethics Without a Net

    It's funny that you bring up "Red Dead Redemption." I recall when I arrived in first city. I went into the bank, I strolled behind the counter, and as soon as I did the 'outlaw' light started flashing and the marshalls shot me dead. I restarted from my last save point. I reasoned that, since...

    Hacker Group Promises Doom for Sony

    Who are these people defending? GeoHot already got paid a large settlement and he's willing to let Sony have whatever polices as long as he's rich. He's still an agitator, sure, but if he were any kind of hero he'd have told Sony to keep his money and then he'd take them to court. What these...

    So, just graduated 8th grade. Any tips?

    I got through high school by being sarcastic and irreverent all the time. People left me alone because I was funny, and also because I always had a better comeback to their insults than they could ever dream of. At the same time I noticed that a lot of people jsut as nerdy as I were getting by...

    Editor's Note: The Dick Tax

    Often when I use online servers that rate my conduct, I always end up neutral. People don't think I'm particularly good or bad. I always hover around the 50% mark. I can't help but wonder what Valve's proposal would do for a guy like me. Also, I can't help but wonder how long it'll be after...

    Sony CEO: "Free" PSN Wasn't a Likely Target

    Duh. If people hacked into a system and extracted from it tons of personal information including, allegedly, credit card numbers, they most definately weren't trying to target the "free PSN." In fact, we all know that the whole of PSN went down simply because Sony was trying to protect the...

    Extra Punctuation: Action Is Not Finisher Porn

    I get what Yahtzee's trying to say here, but i wouldn't have used Arkham Asylum as an example. Arkham has several instances where the camera slows down while Batman deals the finishing blow to a bunch of bad guys. It's usually not too annoying, but there are lots of instances where I beat the...

    Brace Yourself For The Baconing

    I lol'd. Hothead is making games based on a certain reputation they think they have. A lot of small companies seem to be doing this, and I include Telltale, and Double Fine in with that list. Also Twisted Pixel.

    Jimquisition: Defending Call of Duty

    All I gotta say is in the NES days I used to play Mario, Mega Man, Tetris, Mickey Mouse and Mappy and I used to avoid Contra, Metal Gear etc. They were war games and I never felt the need to represent myself as a soldier. Growing up, I know now that they were vastly more complex then I gave them...

    The last weapon you used shall now be used to perform your colonoscopy

    The explosive gel from Batman: Arkham Asylum. Hopefully I have a clearly visible breaking point.

    Your opinion on Cannibalism.

    Well, I'm not against it but still...it eats at me a little.

    Sony Defends "Welcome Back" Reward Choices

    If you already have all of the games that PSN is offering for free, then you have nothing to complain about, because obviously you have more money than I do. (Or perhaps a serious game addiction issue. Perhaps that's why PSN's downtime was also such a problem. Go on and soul search on that one.)...

    Have you ever had to turn a games music off because it was so bad?

    You know, I never have but people are always asking me to mute the music when we're playing Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. I think it's happy. But I suppose happy music doesn't go with superheroes and Japanese characters fighting.
